of "The Pleanurog of the Taulo" point
out that In Knglnnd 400 or COO years
ago peopla took four meals breakfast
at 7 dinner at 10 supper at 4 and liv-
ery at 8. In Franco In the thirteenth
century 0 In the morning was tho din-
ner hour; Henry VII. dined nt 11. In
Cromwell's tlmo 1 o'clock had come to
bo the fashionable hour nnd In Ailill-
son's day 2 o'clock which gradually
.was transformed' Into. 4. l'opo found
1 fault with I.nily Suffolk for dining so
 latonM. Four anil S continued to bo tho
populnr dining hours auiauK tho aris-
tocracy until Urn second uVeinIe of tho
nineteenth centnry when dinner was
furiuer postponed from which period
